I’m from the generation of hackers who’s old enough to have believed in the hacker’s manifesto but young enough to have spread the whole of “white hat/black hat” meme and yeah… It was completely bullshit the whole time. Today there are still people who I talk to who are like “oh, you’re not one of those bad hackers though, right?” Like which ones? The ones who work for governments or who keep banks from getting hacked, cause yeah I’ve worked on DRM and helped keep things expensive that should be free. It feels bad because it is bad, and they lie to you and tell you you’re “making sure Grandma is safe on the internet” but these fucking companies are feeding your grandmas conspiracy theories. They are the bad ones, and the “white hats” are keeping the injustice going…just like some other motherfuckers who like to wear white hoods and defend the status quo.
Yeah, fuck that. Illegalism is 100% legit and I wish you the best.
There is usually a reason something is deemed illegal by society.
And no, the answer isn’t always just greed. But more like its hurting other people, even when you think it doesn’t.
If something hurts other people, you shouldn’t do it because it’s immoral, whether it’s legal or not.
You, as a person, have a responsibility to decide whether an act is moral or immoral and act accordingly, regardless of what other people decided about it in the past.
Obeying the law because you assume the people who made the law had a good reason abrogates your own responsibility for your actions.
Fuck off, if you want to reject societies norms go live in the woods but don’t drag the rest of us down with you.
Societies rules also claim those woods are someone else’s property, and you’d be trespassing by just going there, much less living. If you don’t get permission to be on the land and permit to build a house, they send armed people after you to beat you up and throw you in a concrete room. Or, if you’re (un?)lucky, they’d make you be called to court, and when you return to your house afterwards, you’d find it coincidently burned down. That’s something that actually happened to someone in the USA once, some years ago.
As a queer person unfortunate to be born in Russia, society doesn’t want me to exist. Fuck you and your societal norms
You said a bad word, societies norms indicate that you should be shunned.
Fuck off loser
If shoplifting is such a danger to society that its dragging all of us down, i better steal some more. Thanks for the motivation.
